ANGIE.
Angie. who seems a SprightlY. intelli-
gent girl. confeSseS that she likes adj
miratiOn, cannot bear being made love
TO, is noted for her cyniciSm as regards
sentiment, but is, nevertheless, piqued
because a gentleman, good friend of
the family. and every way nice, appears
a little Indifferent to her charms. There
are more horns to Angles dilemma.
She is corresponding with a young man
of only nineteen whose letters are grow
ing warmer. She cares for him as a
friend. but does not wish to encourage
him-likeS him less. in fact. than she
does the rather Indifferent friend of the
family. Also she and her annie intimie
are studying for the stage on the sly,
and she knows this will shock the family
friend: but she does not like to diSap-
point her darling girl friend. Since you
are only seventeen, Angie, and are a
small heireSS in your own right. and a
pet III the home of your married sister,
you can afford to let love and marriage
alone for awhile. until your judgment
is more mature, Cease your CORE
spOndence with the youth whose letters
are growing more tropical. Don't try
very hard TO warm the family friend
into lover. If he is so inclined, as it
appears he is, the warmth will come
after awhile, and he may prove the
right man. As for the stage business,
waste 10 more time over it. You will
not he in the least apt to get chance to
exercise your talents. There are a
thousand applicants TO one demand, and
you would have to begin at the bottom
of the ladder.
E. G. IGNORE.
How can ! make myself attractive?
What style of wearing the hair and of
dressing is most becoming to plump,
rosy blonde, with a slightly tip-tilted
nose? What ought | TO think of a
young man who quotes much poetry, is
very loving and complains that | am
cold ard distant? How can / please
him? l don't understand him. | am
called handsome and well formed, but /
desire SO much to be beautiful. Can
you tell me of any cosmetic that is reli-
able?" To be really attractive think
more about others than about yourself.
Self-cOnsciOusness spOils the most
elaborate manners, and vanity is worse
than freckles. Read and inform your
self on the interesting topics of the day.
Be gracious. but not gushing, III your
manners. Health, cleanliness and good
temper are the best beautifierS. As for
that pOetry-quoting youth, who in so
loving and complains. you are so cold,
he is not 50 hard to understand" He
is of the sappy variety, with more Senti-
ment than sense. l wouldn't try very
very hard TO please him. He wishes
you TO lean to him with a-sick-kitten-to-
a-hOt-bTick sort of intensity, but it is
odds if he offers to sustain you in a
manly, matrimonial way.
GUY CULNERT.
Guy Culvert says he is learning
trade, but is very DESTROYS to study for
the stage, as he has Won applause in
exhibition of home talent. He saws his
forte is tragedy (all young stage aspir-
ants think their calling is for tragedy
and he asks advice about the proper
books TO, study. Our counsel would be
to stick TO the trade, and pin your faith
to it every time rather than to the APP
plauSe you won from your friends at the
exhibition of home talent. The very
highest talent is required to make way
through the thrOng of would-be actors
and actresses. An actor, out of bust
ness. told me recently that there were
$4,000 names of applicants for stage
situations upon the books of various
theatrical agencies Of New York. Pre-
pairing for the stage requires study of
elOcutiOn and gesture. New books of
published. Ask the bookseller of your
town to order for you the latest and
best. They are not expensive.
BONNY DORA.
''My betrOthed lover is an artist. He
is engaged in painting picture he sets
great hOpes-upOn. 1t is nude figure,
and he is very anxious to have me pose
as his model. Should / crafty him or
stances do not admit of our marriage at
present" If we were a girl, BOnny
Dora, We would rather pose to an artist
who was nothing TO us than to one who
was in love with us. Your fance can
procure model among those who are
accustomed TO pose for artists. These
look upon il as business, and attach
no shame to it. The artists tell us that
they are too wholly occupied with their
art and the contemplation of abstract
beauty to have any sensual thought
about model. This is, perhaps, true;
but, Benny Dora, our advice is not to
pose for your lover until he becomes
your husband. Your writing is very pc
euliar. rather too cramped and small for
a business chirOgraphy, but with good
deal of individuality.
